Dear Mr. Caza:
I agree, under a long-term contract, to allow class C reuse water (or better) to be applied to approximately
460 Acres of land that I own under an Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) wastewater reuse
permit, should I find the conditions and requirements set forth in said permit to be agreeable, and the
contract between myself and the Payette Lakes Recreational Water and Sewer District agreeable. Some
caveats are:
a) The final Idaho DEQ Reuse Permit incorporates conditions that I find agreeable to my operations.
b) The long-term agreement with the District will be based on a thirty (30) year contract, renewable every
twenty (20) years.
c) The District is in sole management and operation of the effluent storage and delivery infrastructure.
d) I am willing to receive reuse water generated outside of the District but will not contract with those
entities.
Regards, (. , " 4
